Hmm, but from the stack traces it indicates the skb is freed inside tcp_sendmsg(), which must be: do_fault: if (!skb->len) { tcp_unlink_write_queue(skb, sk); /* It is the one place in all of TCP, except connection * reset, where we can be unlinking the send_head. */ tcp_check_send_head(sk, skb); sk_wmem_free_skb(sk, skb); } In this case, skb->len == 0 means it is newly allocated skb by sk_stream_alloc_skb(), so it should not have a chance to be picked by tp->highest_sack yet b/c the whole function locks the sock? I must miss something here.
